Hi Diane,
I descend from Johann Michael Fünfrock Sr.'s step family. Michael married Maria Barbara Stambach, daughter of Jacob Stambach of Oberkutzenhausen, and widow of Johannes Nonnenmacher of Merckweyler (present-day Merkwiller), 2 Mar. 1734. She died 1768; he emigrated to PA in 1770. Maria Barbara had 5 children from her previous marriage, one of them being Maria Barbara Nonnenmacher who married Johann Jacob Rupp, the younger, of Oberhoffen, ca. 1746.
Barbara and Jacob came to America in 1752 with three children. They had more children in America, the youngest being Henry Rupe my 5xgreat-grandfather. Would be interested in hearing from you. Did you know that your ancestor had a step-family? I wonder if Barbara ever knew that her step-father and step-brothers came to America 18 years after she did.
I live in Luxembourg, about 4 hours from the Alsace area where our emigrant ancestors came from. I'm planning on making a visit there for more information on the Rupp and Nonnenmacher families.
Cathy
